Auctioneers showcased a selection of art belonging to the late British rock star David Bowie in Hong Kong on Wednesday, ahead of a $12.5-million London auction next month.
“Air Power”, a painting by New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat with an estimate of at least $3.3 million, was among the handful of items featured by Sotheby’s.
The auctioneers placed a low estimate of 10 million to 15 million pounds ($12.5 million to $18.65 million) on the Nov. 10 and 11 auction of a collection of more than 350 pieces, reports Reuters.
Bowie, the “Starman”, “Rebel Rebel” and “Space Oddity” singer, died in January, aged 69, after an 18-month battle with cancer.
